An affair resulting in a lawsuit hap
pened here last week, which is caus-
ing a great deal of comment: Six
men appeared at neighbours, where
by loud talking, cursing, ETC., they
caused a disturbance that was heard
a half mile. This not being sufficient
to satisfy them, they made an as
sault on the man and his wife, so
badly handling them that the town
grand juror signed a complaint for
their arrest. A court resulted, law
yers wrangling over the matter for
seventeen hours, when the jury bro't
in verdict of not guilty. We fear
that a great mistake has been made,
and that rowdvism and law-breaking
will be the result.
